Grade 3 Shapes and Quadrilaterals Practice Test

Build Grade 3 math skills with five 10-question practice tests on 2D shapes, quadrilaterals, sides, vertices, angles, and parallel lines.

Shapes and Quadrilaterals Practice Tests

These Grade 3 Math practice tests help students identify two-dimensional shapes by their attributes. Students count sides and vertices and recognize equal sides, right angles, and parallel sides in squares, rectangles, rhombi, parallelograms, and trapezoids.

Skills covered

  • Counting sides and vertices
  • Identifying triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons
  • Recognizing squares, rectangles, rhombi, parallelograms, and trapezoids
  • Using equal-side and right-angle attributes
  • Recognizing parallel sides
  • Classifying shapes in everyday objects

How to use these practice tests

Start by counting the sides and vertices. Then check whether sides have equal lengths, whether angles are right angles, and whether opposite sides are parallel. Use all of the clues together to identify the most specific shape name.
